As an eating disorder therapist in Orlando, many of my clients struggle with body image. I help my clients move from feeling bad and worrying about their bodies to being kind and accepting their bodies. So what does Body Image mean exactly? Body image refers to the relationship you have with your body; how you see it, think about it, feel about it, and how you experience living in it. It plays a big role in your self-esteem.

Eating Disorder Therapy Orlando

Do you dread family gatherings and social events because they are centered around food? Are you completely preoccupied with calculating calories in and calories out? Do you panic when you put on your favorite jeans and they seem to fit a tad bit differently? Does the possibility of having a ‘normal’ relationship with food seem like a pipe dream?

If you resonate with any of the sentiments from above, you might be struggling with an eating disorder. And you’re not alone. Did you know that 9% of the U.S. population will have an eating disorder in their lifetime?* That’s 28.8 million Americans who will struggle with their body image, their relationship with food, and their relationship with exercise.

As therapists in Orlando, we support our clients with eating disorders by providing a safe space for our clients to confront their anxieties and reimagine their relationship with their body through Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT).
